Delicious, restaurant-worthy recipes that are worth the time investment.

Happy Columbus Day! While the majority of you are probably at home catching up on last night's Walking Dead premiere or outside enjoying the now-crisp fall weather, we're here at BA's Times Square offices. Sure, we're a little bitter about it, but that doesn't mean we're not going to help you make the most of your day off. Enter The Project, our new-ish column for the D.I.Y. cook, which features challenging recipes that are totally worth the time investment. So consider making one of these three dishes today, you know, since you've got a few extra hours to kill and all.
